Arts Alliance Illinois is the states leading voice for the arts and arts education. Through advocacy, research, and collaboration, we give voice to a creative state.
ADVOCACY RESEARCH COLLABORATION
ANNUAL REPORT
A LETTER FROM
We continue to be the go-to source for datadriven research on the impact of the arts on our economy, jobs, and community vitality. In 2012, we collaborated with Americans for the Arts to produce Arts & Economic Prosperity IV, a comprehensive study measuring the economic impact of the non-profit arts in Chicago, Peoria, Rockford, and the state of Illinois as a whole. Proudly, the Alliance serves as a primary convener and connector of Illinois artists, arts practitioners, arts organizations, and supporters. In 2012, we led a number of programs and forums where stakeholders could come together to share resources, build trust, and engage in sector-wide collaboration. We continued to partner with the Illinois Arts Council to serve and support local arts agencies through the Local Arts Network, welcomed U.S. Senator Dick Durbin to our annual Members Meeting, and launched the Arts and Education Exchange, an online resource that helps educators and arts providers collaborate.
Over the past year, the alliance seized upon and created many opportunities to elevate and advance the arts and arts education.
While our collective voices achieved some gains in 2012, much more must be done to win shared policy victories for the arts, culture, and arts education in Illinois. In the months ahead, in partnership with stakeholders from across Illinois, the Alliance will develop a new and forward-leaning arts policy agenda to grow jobs in the creative economy, strengthen arts education, and enhance community vibrancy.
Our members, advocates, and donors understand that together we have the power to make a bigger impact than we ever could individually. Your generosity and commitment are essential to our success and to the strength and vitality of the arts in Illinois. Thank you.
Sincerely,
David Hawkanson Chair, Arts Alliance Illinois Executive Director, Steppenwolf Theatre Company
Unifying the voices of nearly 30,000 individuals and organizations across Illinois to advance the arts and arts education.

1982
1985
A small group of about 100 artists and arts administrators assembled to contest the states proposals to eliminate funding for the arts, giving rise to our only statewide nonprofit arts advocacy organization, known today as Arts Alliance Illinois.
Arts Alliance Illinois held its first arts advocacy day in Springfield, drawing hundreds of supporters out to rally for the arts and arts education. The Alliance has continued to lead delegations to both the state and national capitol since then.
The Alliance Heads for the Hill: National Arts Advocacy Day
Since that first trip to the state capitol nearly three decades ago, Arts Alliance Illinois has led teams of arts supporters and friends from throughout the state to Washington, DC for National Arts Advocacy Day. Participants start the day with dynamic, hands-on training that empowers them with the knowledge and know-how to lobby Congress on behalf of the arts. We then head to the Hill, together, to share our message with members of the Illinois congressional delegation and their staff. In 2012, we pushed for policies to strengthen the sector, including increased funding for the National Endowment for the Arts and for arts in education programs at the U.S. Department of Education.
Through testimony before the House and Senate Appropriations Committees and meetings with legislative leaders, Arts Alliance Illinois helped to stave off double-digit cuts to the Illinois Arts Council, the states only public agency for the arts.

The arts inspire us, soothe us, provoke us, involve us, and connect us. But they also create jobs and contribute to the economy.
